Aren't you excited?! lol I was nervous but for me they just did the blood work, prepped me for surgery and that was it. But then told me that I would not be able to drink for about 12 hours after the procedure :blink: Good luck I hope everything goes well.

I'm scheduled for my gastric sleeve procedure at 3:15pm, but I'm to be there by 1:15. Can anyone give me a general idea of what to expect from when I get there?

I am excited because this has been such a long process lol. I'm ready to be on the other side of surgery. I think not drinking will be hard. I've had only Clear liquids for over 24 hours and nothing allowed beyond midnight last night. I'm nervous, too. It's a big deal having that much of any organ removed, but I think I'll be okay. Thank you!

I felt the same way, honestly I did feel regret right after because I was in so much pain and I felt like I betrayed my body by going through surgery; but in time it got better. Good luck :D

Best wishes to you! Just got my approval yesterday for band to sleeve revision and I've heard how much more intense that surgery is so although I'm grateful for another chance to lose weight, I am sooo scared! Plus my husband is getting sleeved this Monday and I'm worried for him. It's all becoming real. I hope you have very little discomfort and a quick recovery. God Bless!

Congratulations on your approval! It can be a scary process, for sure. I wish your husband the best. I'm sure he's in good hands, as I'm sure you will be as well. I thank you for the well wishes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
